Programs and Initiatives for Holisitc Health
Holistic Wellness is a multi-faceted approach to life that considers the whole person and the connection of body, mind, and spirit. The physical, spiritual, social, emotional, cultural, intellectual, financial, and environmental dimensions of wellness are emphasized as interdependent. Holistic health is an ongoing process. No matter what your current state of health, you can make small everyday choices to improve your level of well-being.
Upcoming Events:
Exploring Intutive Eating: A Student Panel Discussion, Monday, November 17th, 5-7:30 p.m, SMC Campus Center, Elm Room 208 A College life can make it easy to lose touch with your body’s signals, busy schedules, stress, and social pressures often shape how and when we eat. Intuitive Eating offers a compassionate, evidence-based approach to rebuilding trust with your body, approaching food with curiosity, and making choices that honor both your physical and emotional needs.
Whether you’ve ever wondered “How do I know when I’m really hungry?” or “Can I eat what I love and still feel good?”, this conversation is for you. Register here.
Join Dr. Jenna Silverman, Clinical Director at the UMB Counseling Center, as she moderates a discussion with a panel of Maryland-based Registered Dietitians who specialize in intuitive eating, eating disorder recovery, and nutrition counseling.
Together, they’ll explore:
• What Intuitive Eating really means (and what it doesn’t)
• How it differs from dieting or “clean eating”
• The connection between mental health, body image, and nourishment
• Practical ways to approach food with flexibility, curiosity, and care
Light refreshments will be provided.
